Level 1 Health and Safety Construction Course Environment

Construction sites are some of the most high-risk workplaces in the UK. Reports show that around one in three workplace injuries happen in construction, and thousands of new workers enter the industry every year without a proper safety foundation. That’s why our health and safety construction course from Wise Campus is designed to give you clear, simple knowledge that helps prevent accidents before they happen.

From understanding hazards to using protective equipment the right way, this course helps you build the confidence you need to work safely from your very first day on site. It also prepares you for the health and safety in a construction environment qualification, often required for the CSCS Green Labourer Card.

This course includes:

• 100% online learning
• Learn anytime, on any device
• Instant digital certificate
• Optional printed certificate
• Audio-narrated lessons
• Free assessment retakes
• Clear, simple language
• Developed by construction safety professionals
